Progressives: tired of tilting my head up for distance - is there a solution???

Been wearing progressive eyeglasses for years and adapted fine to them. Extremely farsighted (+7) with astigmatism (CYL 1.50) and a 2.50 add. The struggle is with distance. I've had a few different scripts over the years and though reading and medium distance feel fine I've always had to tilt my head up for full far distance focus. I'm updating my script and want to improve this. I'm paying a lot for high end digital lenses. Has anyone been through this and found a solution? My current optician is saying if I raise my segment height (move the lenses up in the frame) then I can correct the distance thing but it'll also raise my reading position. I actually tried that by putting some spacers on the bridge and it does of course fix the distance thing but throws off the close. I've read that one thing that might help is increasing the vertical corridor so there's more space in the lenses from close to far. It's all frustrating because my sweet spot for distance is just about halfway up the lenses - but my natural pupil position is much closer to the top for distance. Anyway if anyone's had experience with modifying the vertical corridor I'd love to hear about it. Thanks very much.

Raised tank pressure - house pressure went down

DIY warning! So I replaced my well tank pressure switch because the faucets and shower pressure went between very low and very high pressure. When I had the tank drained I checked the tank pressure. It was only 28psi so I raised that to 38psi since I was putting in a 40/60 switch. The previous switch was also 40/60 but maybe at some point there was a 30/50 switch so that's why the tank pressure was 28. And the old 40/60 may have been twiddled with to change the pressure points. Anyway I finished changing the switch and when I turned everything back on no more highs and lows at the faucets but overall the pressure seems lower than before. Water pressure meter reads exactly 40 and 60 for each on/off cycle. So my question is - did having the old 28 psi tank pressure create a larger water pressure in the house than we should have had? If not what effect did that low tank pressure have on overall water pressure or anything else? It had been that way for a good many years and water pressure was great - it just only recently started getting very low during the cycle.. Before my switch change the water pressure gauge was reading between 20 and 60 or so. Help appreciated!
